Corbett signed Williams' death warrant Aug. 9 in what would be the state's first execution since 1999...

...noted that Pennsylvania has not executed anyone in 50 years

So which is it?

This article makes it sound like the man was just a poor, abused kid who got violent against his abuser. It doesn’t appear that there is any real evidence that he was sexually abused by his victim and he committed another brutal murder that is not mentioned... And they want to block the execution to get more time? These murders occurred almost 30 years ago, that’s not enough time?


http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Williams_v._Taylor

Murders of Hamilton and NorwoodIn January, 1984, Williams stabbed to death Herbert Hamilton, a 50-year-old resident of West Philadelphia. Williams was a 17-year-old at the time of the murder. Williams lured Hamilton to bed, then stabbed him over 20 times and beat him with a baseball bat.[1] Six months later, Williams, then 18, and Marc Draper convinced Amos Norwood to go to a cemetery, where they beat him to death with a tire iron and then hid the body behind some tombstones. Williams later returned and set the body on fire.[2] Williams took Norwood’s car, along with cash and credit cards he stole from the body, and drove to Atlantic City with Draper and Ronald Rucker.[1][2]
